Speaker 2: cop type of person that says like pajamas or whatever.

Speaker 2: Yeah, either way, and we're gonna be doing the summary,
Speaker 2: you know, some trivia, all that jazz, you guys know,
Speaker 2: the drill. But before we get into that, we have
Speaker 2: a special guest. He is a comedian and subs to
Speaker 2: teacher out of San Diego, Dave Kellen's.
Speaker 4: I hope this goes into like the bonus features for
Speaker 4: the episode, like the outtakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd need a whole other editor for.
Speaker 5: That, so yes, I don't know. For the people.
Speaker 4: For the mistener listeners, this is our seventeenth take of
Speaker 4: trying to get this one right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I keep forgetting record. Anyways, Thank you for joining us, Dave, thanks, Hey,
Speaker 5: glad to be here.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you a bunch of questions.
Speaker 5: I want to have them answered immediately. You have some
Speaker 5: questions for him, right, I.
Speaker 2: Do have some questions. Have you seen the movie Kindergarten Cop.
Speaker 5: Before Garden Cop? Is that? Is that a foreign movie? Yes?
Speaker 5: It is based out you mean Kindergarten Cop. Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, kiddy, Yeah, I'm used to the informal Yeah. No,
Speaker 4: I uh, I'd seen parts of it a lot because
Speaker 4: I worked as at a movie theater when it was released,
Speaker 4: and so on break we'ld just go into theaters and
Speaker 4: watch pieces of movie. So I've never seen it in
Speaker 4: its entirety, but I've seen enough of it to understand it.
Speaker 3: Nice. Nice.
Speaker 5: We should not talk about anything related to movies past
Speaker 5: that and working.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, is that the chin that subject?
Speaker 5: We got a season to exist.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite Schwarzenegger movie?
Speaker 4: Predators up there? It's such a good movie, Like overall,
Speaker 4: it's just a great movie in general, So it's one
Speaker 4: of his best for sure.
Speaker 2: Do you have a least favorite or one that you
Speaker 2: kind of disliked or hated when he saw it?
Speaker 4: I mean, he's got a lot of stinkers.
Speaker 3: Tell me about something that has become glaringly apparent the
Speaker 3: longer we do this podcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna go deep cut on this one.
Speaker 4: It wasn't that it was a bad movie, just so underwhelming,
Speaker 4: raw deal, because that was when he was like peak
Speaker 4: action star and it was just such a nothing of
Speaker 4: a movie, like who cares?
Speaker 3: It was just weirdly boring like this. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now on the flip side, I think I'm one of
Speaker 4: the few people that actually liked The End of Days.
Speaker 4: Really liked that one, and I know that gets a
Speaker 4: lot of flak.
Speaker 5: The first time I saw it was when we did
Speaker 5: this podcast, and I was like, man, this movie is fun.
Speaker 5: I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Gabriel Byrne
Speaker 5: is like one of the best satans in film. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: that movie is. He was so good.
Speaker 2: We had a guest for that one, my friend Rob,
Speaker 2: and he really wanted to be on that episode because
Speaker 2: he loved that movie.
Speaker 3: That was his favorite Arnold movie.
Speaker 5: Wow, would you say Predator is his best one?
Speaker 4: It might be like I still love Conant. I'm a
Speaker 4: huge Conan stand that's a fan movie.
Speaker 5: That was that was one that we, like, none of
Speaker 5: us had watched before this.
Speaker 3: These two fucking hated Cony.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like just it was just I mean I saw
Speaker 5: it when I was eight years old, so it was
Speaker 5: awesome as an eight year old.
Speaker 4: Now I love it ever since. But the second one sucked.
Speaker 4: The Tona the Destroyer was terrible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, looking forward to that one.
Speaker 2: Well, that leads us into our last question. Uh, I
Speaker 2: think you just answered this, But what's your first Arnold
Speaker 2: movie or like earliest memory of I think Conan.
Speaker 4: I think that was that was it is what you
Speaker 4: was that nineteen eighty Yeah, yeah, so I'd have been
Speaker 4: eight years old when I saw that. My dad I
Speaker 4: went to see like Aaron, you know, I love movies. Yeah, guy,
Speaker 4: And so sometimes friends with kids will ask me like, hey,
Speaker 4: is this appropriate for us?
Speaker 5: Songs a year old?
Speaker 4: And I'm like, my parents took me to Alien when
Speaker 4: I was seven, in Animal House when I was six.
Speaker 5: I don't know, well that, I mean that makes sense
Speaker 5: as far as Conan, because like anything before that would
Speaker 5: have been uh what like the Villain and uh there
Speaker 5: was Hercules in New York, which was rat of New York,
Speaker 5: but like uh, and then there was one more stay Hungry,
Speaker 5: but I think that was I know, we want to
Speaker 5: I think we want a golden globe for that. But
Speaker 5: that's also a sway smaller film, so like that was
Speaker 5: his first big one, so that makes sense, that's his breakout. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: I also remembered that I'm pretty sure that This Kindergarten
Speaker 5: Cop was one of the first movies I saw in
Speaker 5: the theater. Wow, yeah, like this or Little Mermaid, which
Speaker 5: I think came out before, Yeah, because it was I
Speaker 5: think that was eighty nine, eighty nine. Yeah, so I
Speaker 5: think that was might have been the first one. But
Speaker 5: I I swear I'd have to ask my mom, but
Speaker 5: I swear I watched this in the theater, which, again,
Speaker 5: like what Erica is always like, this is not age
Speaker 5: appropriate for the kids, because I watched termin or two
Speaker 5: in the theater and I was what ten, like not
Speaker 5: even ten?
Speaker 3: Eight?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like eight or nine, depending on when you went.
Speaker 2: You're just yeah.
Speaker 5: So she's like that that is not age I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: we have kids, Uh it is. It's totally fine. I
Speaker 5: gotta sneak them in there. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I saw in the theater.
Speaker 3: They're resilient, yeah, and we're doing all right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're all adjusted.
Speaker 2: So that's all the questions we have. How about we
Speaker 2: turn it over.
Speaker 5: To Chris good pod, see you guys. Oh there's more. Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 5: you're for the long haul, baby. Okay, we're gonna do
Speaker 5: like forty seven.
Speaker 2: We're like standing kubrick a podcast.
Speaker 5: Just take we all for six hours. You guys are
Speaker 5: killing me.
Speaker 3: You wanted to be on.
Speaker 2: But Anywow, We're gonna turn it over to Chris to
Speaker 2: go through the Submary movie and we're gonna talk about
Speaker 2: it and try and make jokes.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 2: See how they land.
Speaker 3: Skid pitch Man. How have we not thought of that before?
Speaker 3: That's crazy? Anyway, So this movie, we begin with the
Speaker 3: familiar site of the Universal logo or if you like
Speaker 3: me and you're rented it from Amazon, you saw five
Speaker 3: versions of the universal logo, and the movie opens in
Speaker 3: one of America's many thriving shopping malls. Arnold is seen
Speaker 3: shadowing a ponytail in an ugly suit. Just My first
Speaker 3: thought as soon as I saw Arnold in this movie was,
Speaker 3: oh God, it's the end of Day's Arnold. Please don't
Speaker 3: let them near the children.
Speaker 5: I like the little sound effect they used to like
Speaker 5: underline all the names and the credits, like yeah, like
Speaker 5: the chalkboards, yeah, which I never noticed that. It was
Speaker 5: like a writing on a chalkboard noise, which is dumb
Speaker 5: because like the underline effect, like the like the effect
Speaker 5: font or whatever. It is definitely chalk font. So do
Speaker 5: schools even have chalkboards anymore?
Speaker 3: It's all whiteboards.
Speaker 5: It was nineteen ninety though, you gotta think back to then. No.
Speaker 5: I I was just curious, like I'm like, I feel
Speaker 5: like that's yeah, no, it's all yeah, it's all white boards.
Speaker 5: Is this LA?
Speaker 3: I'd never figured out where the great question the original
Speaker 3: part was set.
Speaker 5: I think so, yes, Okay, it does LA.
Speaker 2: Because Crisp Colon. Crisp is wearing like LA County jumpsuit.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when he's oh yeah yeah, when he goes
Speaker 3: to jail, Yeah, gotcha. I was gonna say. The only
Speaker 3: other question I had about this scene is as Crisp
Speaker 3: is walking through the mall and Arnold's tailing him, he's
Speaker 3: smoking a cigarette. There's no way smoking was allowed in
Speaker 3: the mall at this time.
Speaker 5: Right nineteen ninety. Absolutely, one hundred percent. Yeah, really yeah.
Speaker 4: I worked after the movie theater I worked at Tji
Speaker 4: Friday was my first restaurant job in ninety one, and
Speaker 4: until like mid to late nineties, we still had a
Speaker 4: smoking section in the restaurant.
Speaker 5: But you could just do it in the mall too.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, like, killing is not like murdering
Speaker 5: people isn't allowed in the mall either, but he like
Speaker 5: obviously doesn't give as Colin Crisp is played by it's
Speaker 5: Richard Tyson by the way.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna to say that. Now as far
Speaker 4: as the opening, it starts like really dramatic and like
Speaker 4: those sinister music and you've got like terminator style of
Speaker 4: shortsank that you're like they're setting you up like, and
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden the titles come on. It's
Speaker 4: like childish writing and color, like yeah, wait a second,
Speaker 4: what's going on here? Like this is I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's just a weird contrast of like we're the ultra
Speaker 4: serious in action, but no, we're silly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has been so long since I've seen this movie.
Speaker 3: I completely forgot that they actually played it very like
Speaker 3: all the crime stuff very straight at the beginning. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I thought it was like comedy from beginning to end.
Speaker 4: But the bad guy. He was the bully in Three
Speaker 4: o'clock High. Yes, if you ever saw that movie.
Speaker 5: Yes he was, which I love that movie. It's a
Speaker 5: great movie.
Speaker 4: I don't want to call him a bully though, because
Speaker 4: like he was, uh, he was just a misunderstood like
Speaker 4: he had his thing and people kept pushing his buttons
Speaker 4: knock him out. Yeah, so he wasn't actually a bad
Speaker 4: guy until I mean at the end he pull up
Speaker 4: brass knuckles, but he didn't get use him. So like
Speaker 4: he wasn't really a villain. But he's clearly been typecast. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 4: he's he's threatening, he's imposing. Let's just keep using for this.
Speaker 5: Didn't you like, I mean get this is all like
Speaker 5: rumor stuff. It's talking about Three o'clock High, But did
Speaker 5: he like beat up someone like that, like the principal
Speaker 5: of his old school or something like that, or like
Speaker 5: murder like anyway, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Just well he was if you remember his his whole
Speaker 4: thing was like he was he didn't like to be touched.
Speaker 4: If he touched him, yeah, he just like kind of
Speaker 4: blacked out and punched you. And so all right, boundaries,
Speaker 4: you know, let's just establishing boundaries. We're good to go.
Speaker 3: There you go. He was just ahead of his time.
Speaker 5: It's a good high school, Yeah it is. It's a
Speaker 5: lot of fun. Also, yeah, like Chris had that mall
Speaker 5: is packed and Arnold ends up losing Chras. Yeah, Arnold,
Speaker 5: he ends up losing Crisp when he's following him. And if,
Speaker 5: like I feel like that scene happened today, it just
Speaker 5: would have been, like Crisp Arnold, like half a dozen
Speaker 5: teenagers who came there, still, they would miss.
Speaker 3: On those footsteps that going exactly.
Speaker 5: Just he just got hot topic open and that's pretty
Speaker 5: much it, right, Yeah, pretty much. Also, he lost him
Speaker 5: in a mall, but in a part that looked like
Speaker 5: an alley inside the mall.
Speaker 2: Mall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they go like in the behind the scenes section, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean as a teenager, I su it's not
Speaker 5: what it looks like.
Speaker 3: Really, I've never been back there. Speaking of, we go
Speaker 3: to some storage room in the mall and we meet
Speaker 3: Danny and he's definitely not a meth head girlfriend.
Speaker 5: And finally Danny.
Speaker 3: We find out Danny has info about somebody's wife who
Speaker 3: ran away with a kid in three million dollars, and
Speaker 3: Danny intends to get paid for the info. We see
Speaker 3: the Ponytail slip into the employee section of the mall,
Speaker 3: and Arnold follows him in a few minutes later. That's
Speaker 3: what I'm calling. Yeah, until he gets a name, that's what.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call. We already gave him a name. He's
Speaker 5: just being blatantly disrespect for him.
Speaker 3: But I don't like his ponytail. So Ponytail who we
Speaker 3: find out his name? Mister Crisp meets with Danny and
Speaker 3: demands to know where his family is. Danny, being a
Speaker 3: shrewd negotiator, lays out his terms, a whopping seven hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty dollars and even better, zero gunshot wound.
Speaker 4: Now, wait, he started a million and immediately backpeld the
Speaker 4: seven to fifty.
Speaker 3: Well it was a thousand, but yeah, or whatever it was.
Speaker 3: That was his fucking girlfriend talking.
Speaker 5: But he started high. It's like, I'm willing to negotiate,
Speaker 5: I'll back off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he immediately backs off because.
Speaker 5: He started seven to fifty.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, he starts at a thousand, and he's
Speaker 3: like seven to fifty would be fine. And then eventually Crisp.
Speaker 5: Was just like, was it really seven or fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's seven hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 5: I heard him say the numbers. In my head, I
Speaker 5: was just thinking thousand. That like like fifty thousand dollars back.
Speaker 4: Then, Yeah back then, Sure, thanks Obama.
Speaker 5: I also like his joke when he's talking about how
Speaker 5: he saw penelopean Miller's character stealing, like like the stealing
Speaker 5: his money joke, like she looked like three million dollars.
Speaker 5: It's like, dude, are you trying to get killed? Are
Speaker 5: you trying to get killed?
Speaker 3: Exactly? Though he was going to fucking laugh at that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: See, now this is when I saw it in pieces.
Speaker 4: I remember that he was a cop undercover, but I
Speaker 4: forget that he was I knew he was on a mission,
Speaker 4: but I forgot that it was like a murderous drug kingpin.
Speaker 4: Like I'd forgotten this part of it, like the serious
Speaker 4: part of it. So it's kind of like, oh, all right.
Speaker 5: Is he a drug kingpin?
Speaker 3: He's a drug guy?
Speaker 5: Okay, Like oh, I mean, just make a drug.
Speaker 3: They specifically call it out as drug man.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, cool, Like I'm not playing attention to Perry anyway.
Speaker 5: Uh did you finish that scene? So?
Speaker 3: Uh well just that. Uh. He negotiates and then eventually
Speaker 3: just tells Crisp that his family is was last seen
Speaker 3: at Astoria Elementary in Oregon.
Speaker 4: And we all recognize that, right the cool ast time
Speaker 4: of a story wheregony has happened.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: A fucking happening place right there. Yeah, all this cool
Speaker 4: stuff happened in Astoria.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's buried treasure under their feet in this.
Speaker 5: Whole A lot of criminal activity up in Astoria in Oregon,
Speaker 5: which is do you see Oregon?
Speaker 3: That's what he says, its.
Speaker 4: Organ Yeah, it's the only Oregon. When you're talking about
Speaker 4: the video game Oregon.
Speaker 2: Trail, it's people from the East Coast or other places,
Speaker 2: that's say Oregon. And it's like, have you've ever seen
Speaker 2: sense of van Anarchy? Uh, Charlie Coleham or where his
Speaker 2: name is? Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he plays like the main.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I barely know him. He plays the.
Speaker 2: Main guy, and he plays like such a good like
Speaker 2: California dude. But until says Oory Gone, like dude, you're blowing.
Speaker 5: He just blew your coverment. That's that's not too bad
Speaker 5: because he's he's like super British. So yeah, he's like
Speaker 5: super British.
Speaker 3: He's very He give me.
Speaker 4: A break, he says, there's me drugs. So you know
Speaker 4: how they're they're with they're rebooting everything from that era.
Speaker 4: I feel like someone should do a Goony's Kindergarten top crossover.
Speaker 3: Ye, not bad, that'd be fun, all right.
Speaker 5: Arnold can arrest, he can, he can fight Sloth.
Speaker 3: Arnold just.
Speaker 5: Like, instead of Sloth, it's just John Kimball that they
Speaker 5: find locked up John John. It's probably it's always Johnny.
Speaker 3: So so, in response, Crisp gives Danny a counteroffer of
Speaker 3: exactly two gunshot wounds and no money, which Danny promptly accepts.
Speaker 3: Arnold is drawn to the scene by Danny's girlfriend nagging
Speaker 3: him to death, but Crisp has already made his escape,
Speaker 3: so Arnold kind cuts the two love birds together and
Speaker 3: goes looking for If it.
Speaker 5: Wasn't tillared towards women before, it definitely isn't. That's this
Speaker 5: is the best I've ever heard. Yeah, is wrong? Wrong?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, come on, that's I'm just telling you
Speaker 3: what myself.
Speaker 5: I'll I'll also in this last watch, I realized Arnold
Speaker 5: should do a lot of like the dickhead cop kind
Speaker 5: of things, like handcuffing the girl to the body.
Speaker 3: Like, there's a lot of like, there's a lot of like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is why body Kim's are like are a thing
Speaker 3: now like kind of stuff in this Like there's.
Speaker 5: So much stuff to where I'm like, dude, you cannot
Speaker 5: do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the.
Speaker 5: Nineties were a good time for being a white cup.
Speaker 3: Here we cut to the salon where Crisp sits down
Speaker 3: to tell his mother that he's found his family, but
Speaker 3: is rudely interrupted by Arnold arresting him, revealing himself to
Speaker 3: be Detective John Kimball. And this is the part where
Speaker 3: we get the famous I'm Gonna copy with you, and
Speaker 3: we also see like the most intense small security forces.
Speaker 5: Oh my god. Yeah, they all had guns, big guns.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then a fourth guy shows up from the
Speaker 3: back door already. Yeah yeah, they all had guns. They
Speaker 3: all had Although kudos to.
Speaker 4: This movie because this was still an era when you
Speaker 4: could get cheap lass off gay jokes, so they could
Speaker 4: have done a lot of gay jokes about him accepting
Speaker 4: a pedicure. Yeah, and they didn't very progressive.
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 5: Arnold's mom is played by or sorry, Arnold's mom, Crisp. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: Ma Collin by Carol Baker, who is also in the
Speaker 5: game Michael Douglas's housekeeper in the movie The Game Great.
Speaker 3: I thought I thought you meant the video game adaptation.
Speaker 5: What I thought you meant the game like the thing
Speaker 5: like you lost the game? Oh no, no, she was.
Speaker 5: She was in the movie The Game with she was
Speaker 5: Michael Douglas's housekeeper.
Speaker 4: But yeah, great movie, Yes, awesome movie. Also happened in
Speaker 4: a story organ.
Speaker 2: It's weird because I live in San Francisco. Looked very
Speaker 2: much like here, and I've been to a Storia.
Speaker 5: Now that little Frisco in Astoria.
Speaker 3: You just haven't been to the little Back at the
Speaker 3: police station, Danny's girlfriend Cindy is interro is interrogated by
Speaker 3: Detective Phoebe O'Hara, but refuses to cooperate, creating some tension
Speaker 3: between Arnold and o'h.
Speaker 5: Arnld's partner, O'Hara's Pamela Reid played by Pamela not partner yet,
Speaker 5: Oh sorry O'Hara's case.
Speaker 4: Yes, Now, there's a weird moment in here. I don't
Speaker 4: know if if Aaron, if you guys notice this, but
Speaker 4: like there's because this is a generally a comical movie,
Speaker 4: even for the serious crime stuff. It's firely fairly comic moan.
Speaker 4: They don't like weird zooms and high angles and like
Speaker 4: kind of silly stuff. There's moment the interrogation when the
Speaker 4: girlfriend's trying to walk out and the woman's like sit
Speaker 4: back down, and at the same time, Arnold's trying to
Speaker 4: walk out because he's mad about the chick busting up
Speaker 4: his case, and the guy's like sit back down. It's
Speaker 4: like this parallel of like, yeah, they're both getting yelled
Speaker 4: at and you go sit back down. And I feel
Speaker 4: like like Ivan Wrightman just like had some shred of
Speaker 4: filmmaker be like I'm gonna do a weird artistic scene
Speaker 4: here where there's gonna be like this bizarre parallel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I didn't really understand why he did it.
Speaker 5: I like that joke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine, Like I don't understand the parallel between
Speaker 3: him and it was just weird.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, gotcha, that's all I was thinking about it,
Speaker 5: very simple. I'm like, it's funny, it's fine.
Speaker 3: Uh. So Arnold decides he's going to force the girl
Speaker 3: to talk so he heads downtown. After completing his legal
Speaker 3: obligation to threaten minorities with violence, he heads up to
Speaker 3: a party where I believe the theme is chain link. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The Wikipedia called it a club, and I'm like, that's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, abandoned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like it looked like the back of
Speaker 4: the mall, honestly, Yeah, after hours.
Speaker 5: Of the mall where you throw the trill, and it's
Speaker 5: where the dumpsters are, Like I was, I was surprised
Speaker 5: the guy's body wasn't still laying there. Arnold immediately assaults
Speaker 5: to guys standing outside of the quote unquote club when
Speaker 5: he arrives. Uh huh, Like he said, which one of
Speaker 5: the actors I've dubbed because he's been in other movies
Speaker 5: we've done nineteen nineties Petropiscal, which is if you you
Speaker 5: recognized me, if you see him anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also like the hey baby, her boyfriend or whoever being like,
Speaker 5: what do you mean baby? Hey baby?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Hey baby?
Speaker 4: Also, this really goes back to Aaron's previous comment about
Speaker 4: they're they're really going hard with a loose, loose, loose
Speaker 4: cannon top angle here. Yes, He's like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 4: flash my shotgun of these people and bust.
Speaker 5: My way in this club and doesn't get suspended or anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He ends the party with a few well placed
Speaker 3: shotgun blasts and uh corners Cindy and I don't know.
Speaker 3: I got like, I'm glad the scene ended the way
Speaker 3: it did, because I thought it was going to go
Speaker 3: in a more uncomfortable direction.
Speaker 5: Uh So, cutting away as Arnold's like planning cocaine on anybody,
Speaker 5: that's just like.
Speaker 6: That cocaine.
Speaker 3: That's so I wouldn't. It's gotta be.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: So uh so, he corners Cindy to let her know
Speaker 3: that until she cooperates, he is going to be her
Speaker 3: new best friend.
Speaker 4: When I started watching this earlier today, I I was like,
Speaker 4: what is this? Rted PG thirteen Okay, PG thirteen is
Speaker 4: allowed one F bomb. So I googled it. I found
Speaker 4: the script. I searched for the word fuck. I had
Speaker 4: to put subtitles on this. When he busted into the club,
Speaker 4: uh he the door guy wouldn't let him, so he
Speaker 4: kicks the cage open and knocks the guy out. Then
Speaker 4: it cuts to a black dude standing there who says,
Speaker 4: what the fuck? But you can barely hear it over
Speaker 4: the music I put subtitles on. So they wasted their
Speaker 4: fuck right there. You could have had a child, maybe
Speaker 4: it's a fucking tumor you know, something like that.
Speaker 5: You could have really used that.
Speaker 4: Or remember, we're going to get to the twin girls
Speaker 4: when they're saying, what do your parents do?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: Mom says her dad is a real She could have said,
Speaker 4: Mom says our dad bucks. You really could have done
Speaker 4: so much more with your one f bom rather than
Speaker 4: bury it under some music in a throwaway scene. I
Speaker 4: just feel like that was a wasted opportunity.
Speaker 2: Get Ivan Raymond on the phone.
Speaker 3: So we cut to a police lineup as Cindy has
Speaker 3: suddenly decided to be very cooperative. She fingers Crisp as
Speaker 3: the guy who shut.
Speaker 5: Oh settled down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, movie with kids.
Speaker 3: In Jesus not yet.
Speaker 5: I absolutely just adore the wardrobe of that police lineup.
Speaker 5: It is like so extremely like late I took a
Speaker 5: picture of it because they kept going like I had
Speaker 5: to take a picture of my TV like late eighties,
Speaker 5: early nineties, like if the usual Suspects took place inside
Speaker 5: like a Mervin's or something like that, so or a
Speaker 5: Miller outposts. I was trying to look up old stores.
Speaker 5: I was like, wait, what's an old story that doesn't
Speaker 5: exist in Miller outposts mervins. I don't know.
Speaker 4: No, that's that's a great note because this movie all
Speaker 4: that was nineteen ninety. This movie is like the death
Speaker 4: throes of the eighties, like like the eighties are refusing
Speaker 4: to go on, like we're cramming it all in here,
Speaker 4: We're not going away.
Speaker 5: This is a great like speaking of that, it's a
Speaker 5: great transition for like his movies as far as going
Speaker 5: from the eighties, cause I think right before this was
Speaker 5: Total Recall. Yeah, and then the next one is Terminator
Speaker 5: two because that is very nineties.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, nineties as fuck.
Speaker 5: But like this is a nice transition between the two
Speaker 5: because in Total Talk is so aries with the breast shot,
Speaker 5: like that's such an eightiest thing. Oh yeah, and they
Speaker 5: like upped it by adding an extra print too, Like
Speaker 5: in this movie, this movie is is so eighties.
Speaker 4: I kind of thought, like towards the end, when the
Speaker 4: fire alarm's going off, you almost expect Pelopean Miller to
Speaker 4: be wearing a white shirt when the sprinklers are going off.
Speaker 4: You know, that's the kind of eighties you're expecting.
Speaker 5: Here. To their credit, they didn't do it, but you
Speaker 5: know that's well they couldn't.
Speaker 3: They already wasted their fuck. Yeah, it was either yeah,
Speaker 3: let's see we uh. We immediately see Crisp being taken
Speaker 3: into custody after his arraignment, whispering to his mother to
Speaker 3: take care of something before.
Speaker 5: Where did he earn your respect? Because you're calming Crisp?
Speaker 3: Now, well, I just I like to make up nicknames
Speaker 3: until they get a name in the movie, and then
Speaker 3: because the nicknames will rapidly get really really clumsy, where
Speaker 3: I'm sticking like four nicknames in a sentence and nobody
Speaker 3: knows who the fuck I'm talking about. Let's see. So
Speaker 3: oh yeah, Arnold Inner accepts Crisp to perform some light
Speaker 3: police brutality and then get roasted about his lack of
Speaker 3: a personal life. Arnold attempts to avoid any possible bonding
Speaker 3: between himself and the gluttonous O'Hara before being informed that
Speaker 3: the two of them are being sent to Astoria to
Speaker 3: find Crisp's missing wife and bring.
Speaker 5: Her a second he works alone. Also, is this just
Speaker 5: where you can work? Is that a thing where you
Speaker 5: can send local police to a completely different city to
Speaker 5: work undercover. Like I hey, you can do anything in eighties. Okay,
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you see him flash a shotgun
Speaker 5: of people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Likes, if it's a big enough investigation,
Speaker 3: like if a CRISP is a big enough like drug guy.
Speaker 5: Drug That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, then they're probably allowed to do all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 5: I was like, at first, I was like sure of it.
Speaker 5: I'm like, there's no way they would do that. Then
Speaker 5: I was like, oh yeah, most of my knowledge of
Speaker 5: like the police force comes from like Reino nine one one,
Speaker 5: so I just got nothing. Although like it might be
Speaker 5: off the books because they never actually I mean you
Speaker 5: never see it the books. Yeah, yeah, are you I'm
Speaker 5: the police guy now, because you've never seen him contacting
Speaker 5: a story of police, So you know, you've just seeing
Speaker 5: black ops pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Another note, this is the rare time he actually says
Speaker 2: where he's from in a movie. He says he's from Austria.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he speaks German. Yeah, never does in movies,
Speaker 2: so never does.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they could have played with that to be like
Speaker 5: I'm from Australia.
Speaker 3: Crikey, so Arnold wants to work. Arnold would rather work alone,
Speaker 3: but O'Hara is necessary as somebody needs to go undercover
Speaker 3: at the school as a kindergarten teacher to find Crisp's kid,
Speaker 3: a job that Arnold is clearly not suited for. On
Speaker 3: the plane, the pair go over the case as Arnold
Speaker 3: struggles not to murder the kids sitting by.
Speaker 4: Super relatable though that's the realest part of this movie
Speaker 4: so far.
Speaker 3: I think one of my favorite things in this whole
Speaker 3: movie is the look on his face when his seat
Speaker 3: gets kicked, like like struggling so hard not to rip
Speaker 3: the seat out and throw it at these children.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a method acting right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like Evan Rightman kept him up for
Speaker 4: two and a half days and didn't tell him to
Speaker 4: the kids sitting behind him, just to get that more
Speaker 4: visceral reaction.
Speaker 3: And then just gave the kids a bunch of sugar
Speaker 3: and shit and told them as possible.
Speaker 4: So also, I love I don't know if this is
Speaker 4: the right scene or not, but you have to imagine
Speaker 4: that pre nine eleven, you probably could sneak a ferret
Speaker 4: onto an airport.
Speaker 2: That's that's true that that was a big thought that
Speaker 2: I have, and especially since you're not allowed to have
Speaker 2: him in California.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, he ain't gonna check that. So he's
Speaker 5: like maybe maybe he just like flashes batch, I'm a
Speaker 5: copy of idiot and then just like he's like, it's
Speaker 5: a fair.
Speaker 4: Under the seed, like it was like in his pocket
Speaker 4: or something. It's like just going through X ray with
Speaker 4: a fucking ferrot in your suit.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Still Ferret's got a tumor. Now.
Speaker 5: He also saw Angela Bassett there as a flight attendant.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't until like that, I think.
Speaker 5: I think Erica looked it up and she was like,
Speaker 5: this was like before Boys in the Hood, but after No,
Speaker 5: after don't look at Arnold, He's not gonna help you.
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know, it was like right
Speaker 5: before Boys in the Hood, but after something else you
Speaker 5: did she did that was that was bigger anyway. Anyway.
Speaker 3: Okay, so here O'Hara gets horribly sick on the plane
Speaker 3: and remains so as they drive to their motel in Astoria,
Speaker 3: allowing us to see like a softer side of Arnold
Speaker 3: as he takes care of her and reveals that he
Speaker 3: has an estrange son to go along with his estranged wife.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it's only one son, not allowed more
Speaker 2: than one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they's told me got have a second child
Speaker 5: or a Right, I'm making the call.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: All the movies we've done, there's only one where Arnold
Speaker 2: has more than one kid, and that's because it's part
Speaker 2: of the plot, which is Maggie. But literally, if he
Speaker 2: has kids in any other movie, it's just one.
Speaker 4: So yeah, this is now, this is the essence of
Speaker 4: the movie. Yes, she gets sick, he's got to step
Speaker 4: up and take her place. Yeah, Which it's such a
Speaker 4: silly premise, but it's like it's the same energy as well.
Speaker 4: There's not a rule that says dogs can't play football,
Speaker 4: but like, I don't know it just okay, I guess
Speaker 4: they could do that. I guess they wouldn't wait a day,
Speaker 4: they would just send him in.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: That uh, that fair doesn't have a name, right, No,
Speaker 5: I don't think so calls it the fair. At least
Speaker 5: I didn't catch it. Yeah, I'm gonna get to that later.
Speaker 5: Like it's it's just a shame because all does great
Speaker 5: and naming animals like right, I mean he just names
Speaker 5: him after his movies. But okay, yeah, I also got
Speaker 5: what he said in German in the or Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: What he was saying in German was something like, uh,
Speaker 5: that that's me. That's pissed me off. I'm pissed off now.
Speaker 3: That's pretty much. That's all. That's what he was saying
Speaker 3: as he as he carries her into the motel. Yeah,
Speaker 3: she's too sick.
Speaker 4: Nice Okay, Tangent, I'm completely unrelated. In high school. When
Speaker 4: I went high school, you could take Spanish, German, or French.
Speaker 4: I took Spanish like most peelics. It was easy, but
Speaker 4: I had a couple of friends take German, and I said, listen,
Speaker 4: I need you to teach me one phrase because I
Speaker 4: feel it'll help me out in any situation where I
Speaker 4: have to speak German. So I asked him to teach
Speaker 4: me how to say I'm an asshole.
Speaker 5: That's all. I'm not to say German. I'm like, any
Speaker 5: situation that'll cover me.
Speaker 3: You completely diffuse any situation.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, he's.
Speaker 5: Been on our schlock. There we go, There you go.
Speaker 5: If you ever meet Arnold, say that to him. I mean,
Speaker 5: you're insulting him, Right, you're insulting yourself telling me, yeah,
Speaker 5: hey man, I'm an asshole, a big fan, and then
Speaker 5: say that.
Speaker 3: All right. So the next day O'Hara is still too sick,
Speaker 3: so Arnold cleans himself up to take her place as
Speaker 3: a substitute kindergarten teacher. I thought the gun joke was
Speaker 3: pretty funny, where she tells him to take off a
Speaker 3: gun and then he's.
Speaker 4: He's like, I don't know, he said something about how
Speaker 4: they're gonna be tough to deal with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, he was like, their kids, how
Speaker 3: bad could they be? Like, on second top and second thought,
Speaker 3: take the gun. I just thought that was a good gun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the light of the recent school shootings, doesn't
Speaker 4: play as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for the time, I was good. All right.
Speaker 3: So as Arnold waits to see the principal of the school,
Speaker 3: he overhears a hot teacher defending an absolute psychopath of
Speaker 3: a child.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, right here, yes.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you listen to the conversation, Yes, she's talking
Speaker 3: to a little kid who punched another little girl. So
Speaker 3: it's a little boy who punched another little girl, because
Speaker 3: at some point in the conversation she goes, I know
Speaker 3: she poisoned your hand, but you shouldn't punch people. And
Speaker 3: I was like, poisoned his hamsters like plural, lady girl, yes,
Speaker 3: hampster here the plural.
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter because that doesn't mean we have a
Speaker 5: child sociopath here. Yes, for sure, this is an entire
Speaker 5: other movie. Yeah, it's like the Good Sign happening like
Speaker 5: next Uh yeah, it was like Jesus Christ Jenny, like,
Speaker 5: holy shit, did you ever have a kid where you're like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 5: this kid is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a problem.
Speaker 4: Look, I know she puts her cat in the microwave
Speaker 4: on high for two minutes, but you should not have
Speaker 4: called her name. Okay, yeah that They just glossed over
Speaker 4: that so quick.
Speaker 5: Yeah it was just wild, all right.
Speaker 3: So Arnold meets Mishlowski, a small but formidable woman he
Speaker 3: doesn't like the idea of having an active investigation running
Speaker 3: in her school, and who won't take any crap from Arnold.
Speaker 3: It's about having teaching experience before being introduced to his
Speaker 3: kindergarten class, including Lowell, the most morbid six year old
Speaker 3: you've ever met.
Speaker 5: Lowell is my soulmate. He's my loll mate. Aid that
Speaker 5: like this as a substitute teacher. They got kids so
Speaker 5: fucking right, yes in this movie, Like this is exactly
Speaker 5: how it's insane.
Speaker 4: How right they got these kids, Like just you have
Speaker 4: the morbid, the one we're all gonna die.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, cool, let's move on. Like I've taught all
Speaker 5: the grades, middle schools are fucking terrorists, but the little ones,
Speaker 5: the kindergarten, preschoolers, they're a fucking force of nature. Oh,
Speaker 5: they're just chaos. I was actually gonna ask you what
Speaker 5: you prefer, like as far as the grade.
Speaker 4: I prefer high school because they're kind of assholes too,
Speaker 4: but they have work to do and they know they
Speaker 4: have to do it, so they'll leave you alone do
Speaker 4: the work. Middle School is where they first start to
Speaker 4: understand that they can rebel and fuck off and disobey.
Speaker 4: So they're the absolute worst little kids. Oh, these little ones,
Speaker 4: they're like they're okay, they're hard to manage. But I
Speaker 4: don't do preschool anymore because every single time I do
Speaker 4: a preschool I get sick.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, is it just.
Speaker 5: Like every single time that just happens. What grade does
Speaker 5: it become like not babysitting basically?
Speaker 4: Oh god, probably so you get up till like fifth
Speaker 4: or six. Oh really yeah yeah. Preschool kindergarten is like ulterate.
Speaker 4: There's like multiple teachers for all the kids, and it's
Speaker 4: still tough.
Speaker 5: So I remember you, uh you kept posting when about
Speaker 5: them making fun like different different grades too. I think
Speaker 5: it was a different schools, was it. They were making
Speaker 5: fun of you about a lorex thing. Okay, do you
Speaker 5: have yellow hair? Yeah? Yeah, I get.
Speaker 4: I get all the comments, Like Pikachu was the one
Speaker 4: I got the most. They call me Pikachua school.
Speaker 5: It's just all all of them. Pikachu is elementary school. Okay,
Speaker 5: a lot of elementary school Pikachu.
Speaker 4: And then when I did like a ten grade class,
Speaker 4: they were all like doing worksheets and stuff. But like
Speaker 4: this kid raised his hand. I'm like, hey, what's up.
Speaker 4: He's like you ever see the movie Happy Feet? An
Speaker 4: he kind of glass and I'm like, nah, what is that?
Speaker 4: Because I couldn't think of it. Oh, it's about these penguins.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, the penguin the yellow hair, and
Speaker 4: he starts. I'm like, yeah, I get that, I understand. Yeah,
Speaker 4: cool refence, Like I give them credit that come with
Speaker 4: a good reference. I haven't heard, but the Mara's one
Speaker 4: was the best because I was walking between classes and
Speaker 4: these two sixth grade girls they ran up to be giggling,
Speaker 4: and they stopped and they said, do.
Speaker 5: You speak for the trees?
Speaker 4: And then they laughed around a lot, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: that's really good because didn't even say the name. You
Speaker 4: just gave me the reference for it. That's that's kiss
Speaker 4: right confusion. Yeah, but I got super saying I get
Speaker 4: anything yellow kids will say.
Speaker 5: That to me, just like it was just funny how
Speaker 5: often you had posted to her. It was like, man,
Speaker 5: these kids are like, I mean, it's the same joke
Speaker 5: over neighbor, Like was that that wasn't at the same school,
Speaker 5: was it? So it was just like different all different schools. Okay,
Speaker 5: so it's just like different kids having the same thought
Speaker 5: to where it was like this is yeah nice. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Arnold tries to interrogate the kids, but quickly realizes
Speaker 3: that they're morons. Then he panicks when confronted with children's overalls.
Speaker 3: He goes and recruits hot teacher to help with the
Speaker 3: overall situation, and then finds that in the two minutes.
Speaker 5: He was which by the way, that was a choice.
Speaker 5: He passes a couple of doors. He stopped the her doors.
Speaker 5: That's the one of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he found that in the two minutes he was gone,
Speaker 3: his class had gone full Lord of the flies.
Speaker 5: That happens that absolutely Yeah, if you turn your back
Speaker 5: for a second.
Speaker 3: Okay, so she's right, you can't, you can't.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, does it matter what grade? Yeah, second
Speaker 5: and third they start to babe a little bit more.
Speaker 5: But preschool, in kindergarten, even if you're watching them, it'll happen.
Speaker 5: Like you gotta be on them all the time. That's
Speaker 5: why there's like there's four or five adults with a
Speaker 5: group that size for him to take these kids by himself. Jesus. Yeah,
Speaker 5: wait has that always been? I'm trying to like, I
Speaker 5: just remember one teacher Okay, so yeah, man, that sucks
Speaker 5: for the like back like eighty nine. Holy shit. I
Speaker 5: wonder if it was just the teachers being like, I
Speaker 5: can't just basically I can't fucking do this anymore, Like
Speaker 5: I need help with this.
Speaker 3: Depends on the fortitude of the teacher.
Speaker 5: And once this movie came up, they just like, see
Speaker 5: see what happens. We need help. I also like, I
Speaker 5: just wearing wearing overalls as a kid was the worst,
Speaker 5: like just because oh yeah, because like I'm like too
Speaker 5: dumb to unhook the buttons, so it would turn into uh,
Speaker 5: pretty much an emergency every time I had to go
Speaker 5: to the bathroom, like just like me trying to like
Speaker 5: squeeze my wiener shut like like just yeah, like freaking out,
Speaker 5: like just thinking, yeah, thankfully I don't do that.
Speaker 3: They never put me in overalls.
Speaker 5: I don't think it happened more than like once or twice,
Speaker 5: because like just.
Speaker 3: Took one soiled pair of pants and then so uh
Speaker 3: so his class is going crazy. So after some scream
Speaker 3: therapy and light child abandonment, he returns to the class
Speaker 3: with his pet ferret.
Speaker 4: Wait real, before that though, when he did the when
Speaker 4: they're all I forget what happened we perceived, but like
Speaker 4: haa quiet.
Speaker 3: Oh that was when he first came in and he
Speaker 3: accidentally sits on the piano and everybody.
Speaker 5: Just goes, yeah, again, that's so real, dude, if we
Speaker 5: make a mistake, they will let.
Speaker 4: You know, like you will get a nickname from them
Speaker 4: so fast for doing something dumb. Like it's just yeah,
Speaker 4: So that that felt really real to me. As a
Speaker 4: subsiduent teacher.
Speaker 5: I realized this I was watching this that I side
Speaker 5: with the kids a lot on the stuff that they
Speaker 5: laugh at. I'm like, yeah, he sat on the piano.
Speaker 3: Totally, let's see. Okay. So he brings in the fair.
Speaker 5: So was this that the fair was? After he yelled
Speaker 5: him and they started crying right yeah? Oh yeah? When
Speaker 5: they yes, yeah, so they we're all going crazy and
Speaker 5: he just yells screams at them.
Speaker 3: They all start to yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Again, to cry again, so real, like you can if
Speaker 4: you are too much for them and they start crying,
Speaker 4: that's what you're done, I forget it.
Speaker 5: And I love his his like when he's yelling shut up.
Speaker 5: First his first one is like just shut up, and
Speaker 5: then after that it's just desperate to where it's like
Speaker 5: shut up, shut up, shut up. Yes, you can't think
Speaker 5: of anything else to say except for shut up, just
Speaker 5: like shut up.
Speaker 3: And then he brings in the ferret, which they all
Speaker 3: kind of like. It pacifies the kids and they all
Speaker 3: want to pet them. And I really love the horrified,
Speaker 3: desperate look on his face as he goes good, now
Speaker 3: we're having fun.
Speaker 4: As far as the kid's not paying attention, when he's
Speaker 4: like pet them one at a time and within two
Speaker 4: seconds there's like five hands up there. So yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: I have very little control.
Speaker 5: The little kids line up, what happened to your dog?
Speaker 5: That's a good one, and then like one of the
Speaker 5: masks if it's gonna bite Arnold's or no, what wool?
Speaker 5: He's like, uh, if he bites you, you'll get rabies
Speaker 5: and die twitch. Arnold's responses, that's not true. He never bites,
Speaker 5: which I'm like, come on, I neglect, like like addressed
Speaker 5: as soon as as soon as they said it never bites.
Speaker 4: He's like pet it one at a time, and it
Speaker 4: made him like why because it'll get free done bite somebody.
Speaker 5: He just never addresses a rabies thing.
Speaker 2: Sure you know, I mean we learned later that he
Speaker 2: does bite, so was wrong?
Speaker 5: True? Wow spoiler.
Speaker 3: So uh after class, Arnold gets roasted by one of
Speaker 3: his kids, whose is okay make sure at the school.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that kid was great because that like I love that.
Speaker 5: I've talked about this before, Aaron if I never seen
Speaker 5: on me post about this. But like as far as
Speaker 5: like I said, seventh grade is the worst as far
Speaker 5: as they're just terrible people. But they are. They're horrible
Speaker 5: that John Mulaney joke to where is he talks about
Speaker 5: being afraid of thirteen year old Like he'll cross the
Speaker 5: street from thirty because he's afraid of Like you're bring
Speaker 5: thirteen year olds. But this age is the meanest because
Speaker 5: they have no filter. They're so honest, this kid telling
Speaker 5: him everyone's better than him.
Speaker 3: I have yeah. Yeah, Like I was.
Speaker 4: Teaching some second graders one time. I was helping this
Speaker 4: kid of his math, which, by the way, it's so
Speaker 4: hard for me to like dumb myself down to the
Speaker 4: level down. I'm like this kid, I'm like, if.
Speaker 5: You can't do twelve divide too, I don't know how
Speaker 5: to help you, Like, I don't know whatever it is,
Speaker 5: what it is. But I go to stand up on
Speaker 5: my knees cracked because I'm an adult. And this kid
Speaker 5: he looks at me, He's like, why does your body
Speaker 5: make noise when you move? It's just oh, just kill
Speaker 5: me now, Like their honesty is just so unflinching.
Speaker 3: That's great, let's see. Oh yeah. So now, so he
Speaker 3: gets roasted by the kid. Then he goes back to
Speaker 3: the motel and just collapses.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The next day, Arnold is ogled by some of the
Speaker 3: moms right, and then meets Sylvester's mom, who was an
Speaker 3: interesting character. She would rather her son be a sex
Speaker 3: past than play.
Speaker 5: With dolls yeah the eighties, which she like tries to
Speaker 5: explain because her husband like, uh, left for another guy
Speaker 5: and she's like a man. Yeah, and she's like afraid
Speaker 5: that her son's going to be gay too, I think,
Speaker 5: which I'm like, I'm not making an excuse for it.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, like she tries to explain it, like
Speaker 5: my note was like, uh, like I taught him that, Yeah,
Speaker 5: keep going. It was just like, wait, does Kathy Moriarty
Speaker 5: word that her son is gay like his dad like,
Speaker 5: which it seems like it or she just wants that's
Speaker 5: that's She's like, Oh, I'm gonna be able to talk
Speaker 5: to this uh, this hot new teacher.
Speaker 3: It kind of did seem like she was trying to just.
Speaker 4: Get in with a little bit also, so I feel
Speaker 4: like lotwise it served as a little bit of a
Speaker 4: red herring.
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure, that's like, Yeah, the mom, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the next part, because he tries to suss
Speaker 3: out if she might be the former missus Crisp sense
Speaker 3: she is without a husband and from outside Astoria.
Speaker 5: Also one of those thirsty moms was Susan from Seinfeld,
Speaker 5: which Erica pointed out and are I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: That's great Armeil kindergarten teachers uncommon, like like back then,
Speaker 5: I think they were. Okay, is it not anymore? No, Okay,
Speaker 5: that's yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it's like back then, it's like a male nurse.
Speaker 4: What It's just it was the eighties, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's jobs the girl Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say, is he must yeah, he must be good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they literally said that that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So during class, Arnold plays the classic game of
Speaker 3: who is your daddy? And what does he do? To
Speaker 3: try and find Chris Junior, but just gets a lot
Speaker 3: of kids say the darndest things bs from the children.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's what that was is they just
Speaker 4: had the kids say whatever and just feel it.
Speaker 3: It was like, we'll give half the kids joke.
Speaker 4: We'll give the writers the day off. Just have him
Speaker 4: say something will be funnier than what we can't do.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I again, I it was sorry. I don't want
Speaker 5: to like go into the thing, but uh, but some
Speaker 5: of those are like kind of sad. Oh one got dark.
Speaker 5: When the kid goes, he says, my dad doesn't do
Speaker 5: anything since the crash. Yes, that's what I really God,
Speaker 5: whoa anymore? It's dark like he doesn't there's no smiles,
Speaker 5: like it's not like it was not played for last year.
Speaker 5: I was just like, holy ship.
Speaker 3: Like I was.
Speaker 5: Was he in a car crash? It was he's super
Speaker 5: old and he was in like twenty nine like the
Speaker 5: crashoys in the Hamsters cut his brakes.
Speaker 3: Exactly like a vegetables.
Speaker 4: There's some other Dirk in there for tell. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 4: it was that one stood out for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: This is where Arnold mentions he has a headache, and
Speaker 3: we get the class we Lowell says it might be
Speaker 3: a tumor, and we get the classic it's not a tumor.
Speaker 5: Okay, not just the best line of the movie, one
Speaker 5: of the best lines of the nineties. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 5: just yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's unbelievably classic.
Speaker 5: But I I've is not ada.
Speaker 3: I have seen it so often just as that clip
Speaker 3: that I completely forgot the context and I fucking never changed. Lowell,
Speaker 3: You're the perfect kid, Like that's so great. I have
Speaker 3: a headache and immediately he's like, oh, it might be
Speaker 3: a tumor.
Speaker 4: But another thing, just like a stupid old note like
Speaker 4: everyone knows the line it's not a tumor, but.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, he says.
Speaker 5: He's like, it's not a duma. It's not at all.
Speaker 4: Like he just like is logically defended, but like people
Speaker 4: just remember the line. Yeah, Like he's trying to logically like, no,
Speaker 4: this is something else, like know what I.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a tumor. Uh. So, Arnold notes
Speaker 3: any kid whose dad is not in the picture, and
Speaker 3: kind of narrows it down to three likely suspects, including Zach,
Speaker 3: who is like a quiet and emotionally distant kid, and Dominic,
Speaker 3: who is the roastmaster and son of a teacher.
Speaker 4: You know, if not for the presence of countless children,
Speaker 4: this movie would be rife for porn parody.
Speaker 5: Just like milk. He's just like, let be fine. All
Speaker 5: the single moms in this town.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this could be a completely different movie.
Speaker 5: No, no, you can't put those two.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 5: You just ended up on a watch list right now.
Speaker 3: I just want to point out some of the like
Speaker 3: the the little girl who just completely rambles about her
Speaker 3: dad and how much hair he has might be my
Speaker 3: favorite kid in the whole movie. Like she just the
Speaker 3: fucking she just ends the whole thing by being like
Speaker 3: his head is so big he can't wear any he's
Speaker 3: got a big head.
Speaker 4: I mean, but this is the scene too where I
Speaker 4: was saying, like the two twins, they could have been
Speaker 4: like yes, my mom says our dad, and that would
Speaker 4: have got such a good life.
Speaker 3: Okay, And then I had just one question, does anybody
Speaker 3: know what the girl says in Spanish? I think I
Speaker 3: caught most of it. I think it's my dad works
Speaker 3: in the house and plays with me a lot.
Speaker 5: I missed that part. My Spanish is not very good.
Speaker 3: It's it's the house. Yeah, my dad works in the house.
Speaker 3: Something contigo me. Sure, yeah, God, I just couldn't figure
Speaker 3: it out. But yeah, uh so I just had And
Speaker 3: the subtitles just said speaks in Spanish, so fuck you,
Speaker 3: like you wouldn't get it. As Arnold tries to connect
Speaker 3: a little with Zach, who fucking the entire class bullies,
Speaker 3: a fire drill goes off and Arnold's class is the
Speaker 3: last one out, earning him a special call out from
Speaker 3: the principal.
Speaker 5: She's really on a shit list man. She doesn't take
Speaker 5: any guff seriously.
Speaker 3: As the day ends, Arnold tries to talk to Zac's
Speaker 3: mom as she picks him up, but she speeds off
Speaker 3: and ignores his call. Arnold and the now recovered O'Hara
Speaker 3: go downtown for some dinner, where they run into hot
Speaker 3: teacher and her son Dominic. Yeah, we find out that
Speaker 3: hot teacher's name is Joyce pal Merrick.
Speaker 4: Now real quick, though partner played the fucking ace move
Speaker 4: of not being the wife being the sister, she just
Speaker 4: went right into wingman mode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, wingman right away.
Speaker 3: She knows she's We talk a lot on this podcast
Speaker 3: about how, like Arnold brushes up on his improv skills,
Speaker 3: this lady is improv.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: Didn't anybody else think it's weird that she was going
Speaker 4: to be taking your son to such a fancy restaurant?
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit, like, I don't know, maybe there's
Speaker 3: not that many places to go in a story, like.
Speaker 5: A glass of sharden and some crayons. She should have
Speaker 5: taken them with that restaurant from the Gooni's maybe that
Speaker 5: is the restaurant from the Guineyes, they got their shit
Speaker 5: together that it's called, just called for Telly's.
Speaker 3: So they all have dinner together, with O'Hara pretending to
Speaker 3: be Arnold's sister like like Dave said, uh visiting from Austria.
Speaker 3: Arnold asks for advice on connecting with the parents of
Speaker 3: his class over dinner, while O'Hara wingman's the shit out
Speaker 3: of him to help him with his obvious crush a
Speaker 3: plus for her. After dinner, Arnold confides in O'Hara that
Speaker 3: he is having some trouble handling with kids, so she
Speaker 3: tells him that he needs to handle it like a police.
Speaker 5: Situation, so he shoots them all. So this whole scene,
Speaker 5: the Boatox scene and the restaurant scene with how Kimball
Speaker 5: and his partner, basically how Arnold and Pimmela Reid react
Speaker 5: like interactions are the dynamic that you need if Arnold
Speaker 5: is going to play a straight man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5: And I mentioned that because David, have you seen Red Heat?
Speaker 5: Jimply Okay, yeah, that was. I think that was Arnold's
Speaker 5: first dabble into comedy. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 5: I mean sorry, I'm only saying yeah because if you
Speaker 5: call that a comedy, but technically it was no like
Speaker 5: it's technically like it wasn't very good.
Speaker 4: It really went under the radar too. It didn't really
Speaker 4: hit very well. But because it I think that was
Speaker 4: his first taste.
Speaker 5: Of it, I was just it was just disappointing because
Speaker 5: I was looking, actually looking forward to watching that, and
Speaker 5: then we watched it and I was like, ugh, like
Speaker 5: I don't know, it was just like this is this
Speaker 5: basically is what Red Heat was missing, which is like
Speaker 5: probably just like a screenwriter that understands how to write
Speaker 5: comedy well.
Speaker 3: Also, I think also a director who wanted to make
Speaker 3: a comedy as opposed to fucking Walter Hill.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Walter Hill, who said that he doesn't make a
Speaker 5: like he's never made a comedy. It's just like action
Speaker 5: movies that happened to have some comedy in him exactly.
Speaker 3: He specifically said he didn't want it to be a
Speaker 3: buddy comedy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because like, no disrespect to Walter Hill, but the
Speaker 5: guy probably puts on like uncut gems like falling down
Speaker 5: when he wanted wants to watch a comedy. He's like,
Speaker 5: oh fuck, yeah. Michael Doug was like trying to take
Speaker 5: care of people. But like Pamela Reid's character is actually
Speaker 5: also likable, whereas Jim Belushi was playing like a ship
Speaker 5: bag cop who's like just loved it, like a harassing
Speaker 5: women in pent and racist jokes appearing so a cop, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: I think that came out. I think that came out
Speaker 5: around the same time as Dead Heat as well, which
Speaker 5: was that did came out. I almost almost started fucking
Speaker 5: with you guys because I, uh, that started popping up
Speaker 5: a lot commercials for that. I'm like, what the fuck
Speaker 5: is this? And I was like Williams, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: I should have started showing them trailers for dead Yes
Speaker 5: it was.
Speaker 3: But I left it.
Speaker 5: Oh did you? And then like his uh her sorry
Speaker 5: her line, if you were any stiffer, we could take
Speaker 5: your surfing. Yeah, that.
Speaker 4: Different contexts today. What she meant it has.
Speaker 5: And so he uh she uh meant or he mentions
Speaker 5: the kids pushing around, but uh have you ever had
Speaker 5: that like dangerous mind stuff, take a standard of liver
Speaker 5: approach and stuff.
Speaker 4: Not yet knock on wood. I was gonna say, some
Speaker 4: bridge when we get there.
Speaker 3: Chair in ready, ready unloaded.
Speaker 4: I did have I carry a POCKETKNP. I just always
Speaker 4: have for fucking decades. And at one of these schools.
Speaker 4: I was there for like a five day gig, like assisting.
Speaker 4: I wasn't even teaching. I was like backup teacher in
Speaker 4: the room. And one morning, like my third morning, and
Speaker 4: I'm checking in the PRINCI was like, hey, h one
Speaker 4: of the kids told us, you have a pocket knife?
Speaker 4: Would you mind leaving that in the car? And I
Speaker 4: wear like untucked butting up shirts, so my first thought
Speaker 4: was like, how the fuck did they see it? And
Speaker 4: then second, who's the snitch?
Speaker 5: Because I'm gonna think, get out with the knife? What
Speaker 5: are you doing?
Speaker 3: Do you know how dangerous it is to snitch on
Speaker 3: somebody who has the knife?
Speaker 5: Exactly? That's dangerous? Minds less than number one? Okay, sorry,
Speaker 5: that's all.
Speaker 3: So uh, Arnold decides to take it another way, choosing
Speaker 3: to turn his class into a boot camp, spending the
Speaker 3: next couple of days whipping his kids into shape and
Speaker 3: managing to have a bit of fun as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a two day montage, which is really
Speaker 4: quick to whip some kids into shit like that.
Speaker 3: So we montage our way through running in exemplary fire
Speaker 3: drill and building a bit of confidence for Zach before
Speaker 3: sitting down for storytime.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I was paying attention to the outfits. He
Speaker 4: was wearing their two outfits, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: this is two days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we finally get a third outfit when
Speaker 3: it's storytime. Yes, So they sit down for storytime. Arnold
Speaker 3: grabs a book and then fails to explain the finer
Speaker 3: points of divorce to some really jaded children. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: got sad, not just for like obviously it was supposed
Speaker 3: to be sad for Arnold because he's thinking about his
Speaker 3: failed marriage and stuff.
Speaker 4: Right, he's about a son against second time. He's talking
Speaker 4: about I got a son out there somewhere in the world.
Speaker 3: But these kids are like so jaded. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: the way Dominic asked him, like why don't you see
Speaker 3: your son anymore? Was he bad? And I was like, holy.
Speaker 5: Ship, yeah, wait, is that not a thing.
Speaker 3: For you? It was okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 5: He was like, wait, that's that's why my dad listened
Speaker 5: around because I was bad. It wasn't his fault. We
Speaker 5: heard discussed this. He wanted to be there. Why don't
Speaker 5: he love me?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: As you're also, uh, he pretty much almost unloads his
Speaker 5: issues on those kids. I was like, come on, come on.
Speaker 5: So I feel like that's very it could be very
Speaker 5: easy to do. So they start asking questions where you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, gotta no, Nope, they're gonna.
Speaker 3: So while the kids sleep after story time.
Speaker 4: Oh man, if I could get a room full of
Speaker 4: kids to sleep that fast, lord, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3: That So loading them up with dairy products doesn't work.
Speaker 5: Well, you gotta know, you gotta like do what he
Speaker 5: was doing boot camp. They're just fucking tired. Yeah, to
Speaker 5: try that next time.
Speaker 3: Uh So, while the kids sleep, Arnold has a dream
Speaker 3: about Crisp showing up, and just as he's about to
Speaker 3: get shot, he wakes up in a fright. Joyce is
Speaker 3: there to ask him on a date at her house.
Speaker 3: The following night, back at the motel, Arnold fines a
Speaker 3: strange car and cautiously enters the room, where he scares
Speaker 3: the boner right out of and he busts in with.
Speaker 4: A gun and his defining characteristic as he's clumsy. Yes,
Speaker 4: knocking shit over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's his whole deal.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The next day at school, Arnold finally catches up with
Speaker 3: Zach's mom, but discovers that rather than being Crisp's kid,
Speaker 3: he's actually a victim of domestic abuse at the hands
Speaker 3: of his father. Arnold warns missus Sullivan that if it
Speaker 3: happens again, he'll press charges.
Speaker 4: Yeah again getting a little heavy in a comedy here, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I yeah, this through line works for me
Speaker 3: as like softening Arnold.
Speaker 5: Well, this was the one time during the entire movie
Speaker 5: that he decided to show some restraint, which was I
Speaker 5: don't think we're there yet, No, no, no, he does,
Speaker 5: because like just like just like not doan you think
Speaker 5: like you're a cop. Do you think you do something.
Speaker 3: Besides pressing charge exactly, like give.
Speaker 5: Her warning, like something besides giving her a warning, which
Speaker 5: you know she's not going to relate to her husband,
Speaker 5: so of course not so yeah, like you should. I
Speaker 5: don't know, like La Arnold would have followed them and
Speaker 5: then beat the fuck out of.
Speaker 3: La r Yeah, that guy would have a shotgun, would.
Speaker 5: Have handed her use this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So back in La Cindy buys some drugs off
Speaker 3: a dealer in the street, and it's revealed that Crisp's
Speaker 3: mother paid off the dealer to give Cindy what is
Speaker 3: presumably like a bad batch.
Speaker 4: Okay, the connections this woman has because she's presented as
Speaker 4: like high profile, high societal classy, but she's also friends
Speaker 4: with street level drug dealers.
Speaker 5: Like, hey, hey, he'ses garbage to her.
Speaker 3: She's just Mama Fratelli with a better wardrobe.
Speaker 5: Exactly. Well, he's connected, man, she knows everybody.
Speaker 2: I would assume that would be one of Crisp's drug dealers,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean the guy doesn't know who she
Speaker 2: is because probably yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but that's like Marlon Brando was talking
Speaker 5: to a foot soldier on the God. Probably he's not
Speaker 5: going to do that. I mean, she she's got to
Speaker 5: know who she is because like she's the one that
Speaker 5: gave him, Like what is he just gonna need? He
Speaker 5: is like she's like, here's fifty dollars. Do you have
Speaker 5: this girl that's coming in these drugs? Okay? I mean
Speaker 5: I guess that. I mean, what does I guess after
Speaker 5: saying I was like okay, maybe, well no.
Speaker 2: Because then you're losing a customer, you know, you want
Speaker 2: him to come back.
Speaker 3: Probably loses a.
Speaker 5: Lot of Yeah, that's a numbers game here, you're not
Speaker 5: really tanking on. Maybe she like didn't undercover Boston and
Speaker 5: now she just wants to like be more more involved
Speaker 5: in stuff. Like she's like like she wasn't she din't
Speaker 5: used to be like this, but now she you know,
Speaker 5: Plus chrisp is in jail, so she's got to do
Speaker 5: this ship because he's not like, right, he's still in jail.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's definitely still Actually, have.
Speaker 4: We considered that she didn't know the drugs are gonna
Speaker 4: kill her? She's maybe just trying out a new product. Okay,
Speaker 4: let's try this. See what happened?
Speaker 5: She died? Shit? Okay, well, I'm not gonna put that
Speaker 5: on them.
Speaker 3: He's actually trying to pay off Cindy.
Speaker 5: She's an entrepreneur. Okay, we try to cut it with Ajax.
Speaker 5: Lesson learned it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: It does not clean your inside all right. Uh. So,
Speaker 3: Arnold gets ready for his date and O'Hara provides some
Speaker 3: wine and flowers for him to take At Joyce and
Speaker 3: Dominic's place. Joyce prepares dinner while Dominic shows Arnold his
Speaker 3: secret hiding place.
Speaker 5: Oh sorry, real quick with for them getting ready for
Speaker 5: the date. He mentions the quickest way to slip up
Speaker 5: during undercover work is doing things you normally wouldn't do.
Speaker 5: Which isn't that like just kind of undercover work, Like, dude, Like,
Speaker 5: it just makes me curious if there's like a deleted
Speaker 5: scene where he we find out that Kimball's only previous
Speaker 5: undercover experience with him infiltrating like a bodybuilding competition for
Speaker 5: steroid use. It's like, he's like, you're not supposed to
Speaker 5: do stuff that you don't know. I don't know. It's
Speaker 5: just I was like, okay, now that he's just in so.
Speaker 4: Deep, he's forgetting what's real. She's taking Wait a second,
Speaker 4: am I a teacher?
Speaker 5: What's going on? The steroids affecting my brain? Continue?
Speaker 3: We see Dominic's secret hiding place and he kind of
Speaker 3: hints that he and his mother are on the run
Speaker 3: from some bad people and reveals his plan to put
Speaker 3: a quote unquote laser on a communications tower.
Speaker 5: That laser's house. Yeah he's got more than one, buddy,
Speaker 5: So yeah, this kid is smart enough to consider planting
Speaker 5: his lasers on the antenna, but dumb enough to think
Speaker 5: that rolled up pieces of aluminum foil or a laser
Speaker 5: Come on, Oh yeah I noted that later. Yeah, also
Speaker 5: this shit, actually this kid should be off Arnold's radar.
Speaker 5: Bad people. Okay, it's not just this one guy after him. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this is not my target.
Speaker 3: So Arnold's suspicions now aroused, he goes to do some
Speaker 3: snoop all. He does some snoopid, but is caught by Dominic.
Speaker 3: There's a little easter egg here where the Dominic has
Speaker 3: Ghostbusters sheet. After putting Dominic to bed, Arnold does some
Speaker 3: light interrogating of Joyce and kind of gets her to
Speaker 3: admit that they're hiding from her ex.
Speaker 5: Oh backup just a little bit. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: When he was rifling through her drawers just like some stuff.
Speaker 4: See this was the cusp of the eighties at nineties. Now,
Speaker 4: if this was peak eighties, wh would found some sex
Speaker 4: choice that would have been played for a laugh?
Speaker 3: And yeah that would have I thought you were going
Speaker 3: to say he would have spent a little longer in
Speaker 3: her underwear drawer.
Speaker 5: Yeah too, Yeah, that was one of those two things. Yeah,
Speaker 5: because he did puble a pair out and hold him up?
Speaker 3: He did, he didn't, Yeah, he wasn't too quick with it. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also, so I never noticed that peneloty and miller Head
Speaker 5: has like this badasscar in her face before, which he
Speaker 5: does because when we're watching like it's a downer right cheek,
Speaker 5: I believe, but it's down one of her cheek. I'm
Speaker 5: pretty sure it's a right cheek. It's like looks like
Speaker 5: like a biker scar, but I don't think I know.
Speaker 5: Erica looked it up and apparently she was in an
Speaker 5: accident back when she was a teenager. But I was like,
Speaker 5: holy shit, is she supposed to have that scar? Like,
Speaker 5: was that like a like a wedding president from Chris
Speaker 5: out of her backstory?
Speaker 3: Damn?
Speaker 5: But then like, you know, it's not that dark. It
Speaker 5: is that it's actually anyway.
Speaker 3: So the following day at school, Arnold's class is rehearsing
Speaker 3: the Gettysburg Address for a school presentation, which seems like
Speaker 3: very heady material for kindergartener's but I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's Oregon, man. It progressed.
Speaker 3: When O'Hara shows up having done a deep dive into
Speaker 3: Joyce's life in Astoria. Based on what she found, O'Hara
Speaker 3: is pretty sure that Joyce is not who they're after,
Speaker 3: because there's no indication that she has the three million
Speaker 3: dollars that Crisp's wife supposedly stole.
Speaker 4: Right well, which you think she did because the house
Speaker 4: was so nice. Yeah, and her story is like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's a friend's house and like, I don't know about
Speaker 4: your story.
Speaker 3: But then it does check out. So this leaves Sylvester's
Speaker 3: mom as the most obvious suspect, especially when she walks
Speaker 3: in at that exact moment with a pony and a
Speaker 3: new bike for the school. Raffle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like fucking pony, Like are you giving them a
Speaker 5: gift or a fucking burden right there?
Speaker 3: Ship?
Speaker 5: Like who's gonna win that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: No for real, that's a yeah. That's like she hates
Speaker 4: the other parents.
Speaker 5: She's like screaming guys like our dog Wally was a
Speaker 5: gift for like a sorry, not to us, because that
Speaker 5: would be like what a burden? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: we got him. We got him from the from the pound.
Speaker 5: But he like originally I guess he was someone gave
Speaker 5: it to a it. Someone gave him to a retiring
Speaker 5: uh yeah, someone game that gave that due to someone
Speaker 5: that like an employee that sorry, a coworker that was
Speaker 5: retiring as a retirement gift, and they immediately gave him
Speaker 5: to the pound apparently, so yeah, which sucks. I'm like, man,
Speaker 5: that's that's called regifting.
Speaker 3: Because that is a horrible Sorry, he's he's that's such
Speaker 3: a bad idea. Yeah he's got he's he's cool, but like,
Speaker 3: that's a horrible gift.
Speaker 4: Was No, in real life, if you have any friends
Speaker 4: that have a small child age four or five, get
Speaker 4: that child the drum set. You could not screw the
Speaker 4: parents over any more than that.
Speaker 5: I have a drum set, but they wouldn't let me
Speaker 5: get one until I was eighteen. Yeah, you were like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I would not buy anyone, And I get it now
Speaker 5: because I'm like, come on, like for like years. Anyway.
Speaker 3: So, Arnold and Joyce have a moment in the hallway,
Speaker 3: and as he marches his kids back to class, Zach
Speaker 3: and his mother show up late. Arnold finds more bruises
Speaker 3: on Zach and pursues missus Sullivan.
Speaker 5: Zach a little overboard on the acting here, I fell
Speaker 5: also bruises on Zach sounds like a cool band name.
Speaker 5: It doesn't.
Speaker 3: And then when he goes outside he finds.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it sounds like a like a collective soul type
Speaker 2: nineties by Joe or something like bruises on Zach, I
Speaker 2: as you're all music?
Speaker 3: Oh god? So when he goes outside, he finds mister
Speaker 3: Sullivan waiting by the car, all.
Speaker 5: Happy and like hey, and I said exactly jovial, not
Speaker 5: able to read Arnold's buddy, all hey man, what's going
Speaker 5: on is he's like aggressively at the very least he
Speaker 5: should be like, oh, I recognize this, I know what
Speaker 5: this energy is. This is how it feels.
Speaker 6: But if I have been doing this one time.
Speaker 5: But this is where also Arnold is getting his l
Speaker 5: A tough guy. He couldn't knocked the dude out. Saw
Speaker 5: the kids watching him. He's like, nope, not gonna be
Speaker 5: la John Kimball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna be nice, buttoned up a story of John.
Speaker 5: Kim kinder gentler John Kimball, which is just not beating
Speaker 5: the ship out of this dude. I don't know if
Speaker 5: that's happened yet in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3: But so he pins him against the car, Sullivan takes
Speaker 3: a swing and then Arnold hits him right in the
Speaker 3: fucking gut. So he realizes everyone's watching and then tells
Speaker 3: Sullivan that he's pressing charges just before Miss Schlowski arrives out.
Speaker 4: It's just a shame that this happened. Maybe a decade
Speaker 4: before someone would have yelled the world star.
Speaker 3: Back in the principal's office, Arnold apologizes and Shlowski confronts
Speaker 3: him about the fact that he lied about his teaching
Speaker 3: experience before complimenting his teaching skills and really reveling in
Speaker 3: his like vigilantism.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has earned her respect. You you punch your parents.
Speaker 5: I love you. Yeah, I love her a little like
Speaker 5: boxing thing at the at the end of the scene.
Speaker 3: Shah exactly when he leaves, and she's like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: like you really like her. After that, we cut back
Speaker 3: to a dead Cindy as the police captain gives orders
Speaker 3: that Arnold and O'Hara are too head back and they
Speaker 3: can only bring in Crisp's wife for protection if she'll
Speaker 3: give up the money without a witness. Crisp gets out
Speaker 3: of jail and immediately meets up with his mother.
Speaker 5: And they really go hard on the creepy mother sonbody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. We get a little more of it later.
Speaker 5: They've been building tours and it's getting it's getting more.
Speaker 4: Like like they yeah, no, no, they make love, don't
Speaker 4: be dirty.
Speaker 3: Yes. Back in Astoria, the school fair is in full
Speaker 3: swing at what is presumably the wealthiest public elementary in
Speaker 3: the country. Like they've got a bounce house, a merry
Speaker 3: go round, carnival rides, carnival games, a petting zoo, a
Speaker 3: fucking live band.
Speaker 5: You think those kids got to keep the goony gold
Speaker 5: that went to the city, bro, that's public funding.
Speaker 3: Also, there's one shot of just a clown sitting down
Speaker 3: that is so great, like very funny.
Speaker 5: It was the one kid's dad who doesn't do much
Speaker 5: after the accident.
Speaker 3: It was a horrible clowning accident. He sees the mad
Speaker 3: clown that fell down on.
Speaker 2: Stilts got to a crash in the clown car.
Speaker 3: Arnold's class absolutely kills the with the performance of the
Speaker 3: Gettysburg address.
Speaker 5: Wait, Lincoln's dead.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I had to find out this way, and
Speaker 3: I have some bad news about your favorite actor. So
Speaker 3: Shlawski tries to guilt trip Arnold into becoming a teacher
Speaker 3: full time, and it seems like deep down he might
Speaker 3: be considering it.
Speaker 6: Well, that's the bell that's going to do it for class.
Speaker 6: But please don't skip tomorrow, as we're going to be
Speaker 6: finishing off the summary for kindergarten coup. Just remember, as
Speaker 6: John Keating once said, there's a time for daring, and
Speaker 6: there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands
Speaker 6: what she's called for. Carpe DM see.
